Built around the Series 711 dial test indicator, it delivers a measuring range of 0.03 inches with dial graduations of 0.0005 inches, making it well-suited for runout checks, surface alignment, and part inspection work. The 0-15-0 bidirectional dial reading supports both positive and negative deflection readouts without resetting. A jeweled lever action and positive reversing switch contribute to consistent, repeatable readings. Licensed machinists, tool and die technicians, and precision mechanics are the primary installers and users of this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is appropriate for use in production machining shops, job shops, and inspection environments where tight tolerances are routinely verified. The swiveling tubular body and universal friction holder give the indicator flexible positioning across a wide range of fixture and surface plate setups. The hard chrome-plated contact point and interchangeable contact point design allow adaptation to different part geometries without replacing the full indicator. The kit ships without a shank and is supplied in a protective case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.03 inch total measuring range with 0.0005 inch dial graduations for fine-tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0-15-0 bidirectional dial reading with positive reversing switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJeweled lever action for smooth, accurate stylus movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwiveling tubular body and universal friction holder for flexible positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard chrome-plated, interchangeable contact point with 0.120 inch ball diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite dial face for high contrast readability; 15\/16 inch dial diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes dial test indicator body, contact point, and body clamp; supplied in case without shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use kit within the STARRETT Series 711 dial test indicator product family.

Ensure all machine motion is halted and spindles are de-energized before mounting or repositioning the indicator. Do not exceed the stated measuring range, as over-travel can damage the jeweled lever mechanism. Follow shop calibration procedures and applicable metrology standards when using this indicator for inspection documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasuring Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 to 0.03 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Graduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Reading\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0-15-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.120 inches (3.0 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Point Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.97 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 711\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dial Test Indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Without shank, supplied in case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: California Proposition 65\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52953\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538774360370,"sku":"52953","price":347.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7ffccd4f8fff99d88f1974989349a275.jpg?v=1785826380","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-52953-dial-test-indicator-kit-3-piece-0-03-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
